The deputy of research, Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz is thanked for financial support of Abstract the project (# 101). A second series of corrections and additions to the World Catalogue of Haliplidae (Coleoptera) published as part of Volume 7 of the World Catalogue of insect series (VONDEL 2005) are presented. References All new taxa, new synonymies and new data on distribution are summarized. The number of species of the family Haliplidae is now 240, distributed in five genera.

PETROV3 1Natuurmuseum Rotterdam, The Netherlands 2Hillerød, Denmark 3Moscow South–West Gymnasium, Russia REVIEW OF THE PALAEARCTIC AND ORIENTAL SPECIES OF THE SUBGENUS HALIPLUS S.STR. (COLEOPTERA: HALIPLIDAE: HALIPLUS) WITH DESCRIPTIONS OF THREE NEW SPECIES Vondel, B.J. van, M. Holmen & P. N. Petrov, 2006. Review�������������������������������������� of the Palaearctic and Oriental species of the subgenus Haliplus s.str. (Coleoptera: Haliplidae: Haliplus) with descriptions of three new species. – Tijdschrift voor Entomologie 149: 227-273, figs. 1-231. [issn 0040-7496]. Published 1 December 2006. The species considered to belong to the subgenus Haliplus Latreille, 1802 and known to occur in the Palaearctic region are reviewed. Latreille’s selection of Dytiscus impressus Fabricius, 1787 as [misidentified] type species, is amended in the sense of the nominal species and not the misidentified identity, following iczn article 70.3.1. Dytiscus impressus is here formally selected as type species for Cnemidotus Illiger, 1802 and Hoplitus Clairville, 1806. Three new species are described: Haliplus (Haliplus) fuscicornis Holmen, Van Vondel & Petrov sp.n., H. kirgisiensis Holmen & Van Vondel sp.n. and H. turkmenicus Van Vondel sp.n.. Lectotypes are designated for H. ruficollis var. pedemontanus Fiori, H. lineolatus Mannerheim, H. brevis Wehncke, H. fluviatilis var. maculatus Seidlitz and H. minutus Takizawa. Three new synonymies are estab- lished: H. brevior Nakane, junior synonym of H. japonicus Sharp, H. fluviatilis var. maculatus Seidlitz, junior synonym of H. ruficollis (De Geer) and H. minutus Takizawa, junior synonym of H. simplex Clark. All species are described and figured. A key to the species is presented.

  • Crossness Sewage Treatment Works Nature Reserve & Southern Marsh Aquatic Invertebrate Survey
    Commissioned by Thames Water Utilities Limited Clearwater Court Vastern Road Reading RG1 8DB CROSSNESS SEWAGE TREATMENT WORKS NATURE RESERVE & SOUTHERN MARSH AQUATIC INVERTEBRATE SURVEY Report number: CPA18054 JULY 2019 Prepared by Colin Plant Associates (UK) Consultant Entomologists 30a Alexandra Rd London N8 0PP 1 1 INTRODUCTION, BACKGROUND AND METHODOLOGY 1.1 Introduction and background 1.1.1 On 30th May 2018 Colin Plant Associates (UK) were commissioned by Biodiversity Team Manager, Karen Sutton on behalf of Thames Water Utilities Ltd. to undertake aquatic invertebrate sampling at Crossness Sewage Treatment Works on Erith Marshes, Kent. This survey was to mirror the locations and methodology of a previous survey undertaken during autumn 2016 and spring 2017. Colin Plant Associates also undertook the aquatic invertebrate sampling of this previous survey. 1.1.2 The 2016-17 aquatic survey was commissioned with the primary objective of establishing a baseline aquatic invertebrate species inventory and to determine the quality of the aquatic habitats present across both the Nature Reserve and Southern Marsh areas of the Crossness Sewage Treatment Works. The surveyors were asked to sample at twenty-four, pre-selected sample station locations, twelve in each area. Aquatic Coleoptera and Heteroptera (beetles and true bugs) were selected as target groups. A report of the previous survey was submitted in Sept 2017 (Plant 2017). 1.1.3 During December 2017 a large-scale pollution event took place and untreated sewage escaped into a section of the Crossness Nature Reserve. The primary point of egress was Nature Reserve Sample Station 1 (NR1) though because of the connectivity of much of the waterbody network on the marsh other areas were affected.

  • Dartington Report on Beetles 2015
    Report on beetles (Coleoptera) collected from the Dartington Hall Estate, 2015 by Dr Martin Luff 1. Introduction and Methods The majority of beetle recording in 2015 was concentrated on three sites and habitats: 1. Further sampling of moss on the Deer Park wall (SX794635), as mentioned in my 2014 report. This was done on two dates in March by MLL and again in October, aided by Messrs Tony Allen and Clive Turner, both experienced coleopterists. 2. Beetles associated with the decomposing body of a dead deer. The recently (accidentally) killed deer was acquired on 12th May by Mike Newby who pegged it out under wire netting in the small wood adjacent to 'Flushing Meadow', here referred to as 'Flushing Copse' (SX802625). The body was lifted regularly and beaten over a collecting tray, initially every week, then fortnightly and then monthly until early October. In addition, two pitfall traps were installed just beside the corpse, with a small amount of preservative in each. These were emptied each time the site was visited. 3. Water beetles sampled on 28th October, together with Tony Allen and Clive Turner, from the ponds and wheel-rut puddles on Berryman's Marsh (SX799615). Other work again included the contents of the nest boxes from Dartington Hills and Berrymans Marsh at the end of October, thanks to Mike Newby and his volunteer helpers. 2. Results In all, 203 beetle species were recorded in 2015, of which 85 (41.8%) were additions to the Dartington list. This increase over the 32% new in 2014 (Luff, 2015) results partly from sampling habitats (carrion, fresh-water) not previously examined.

  • The Formation of Water Beetle Fauna in Anthropogenic Water Bodies
    Oceanological and Hydrobiological Studies International Journal of Oceanography and Hydrobiology Vol. XXXVII, No. 1 Institute of Oceanography (31-42) University of Gdańsk ISSN 1730-413X 2008 eISSN 1897-3191 Received: July 03, 2007 DOI 10.2478/v10009-007-0037-y Original research paper Accepted: January 17, 2008 The formation of water beetle fauna in anthropogenic water bodies Joanna Pakulnicka1 Department of Ecology and Environmental Protection University of Warmia and Mazury Plac Łódzki 3, 10–727 Olsztyn Poland Key words: water beetles, clay-pits, gravel-pits, succession, Poland Abstract Studies on the fauna of water beetles inhabiting anthropogenic water bodies were conducted on 44 clay-pit and gravel-pit ponds. A total of 125 water beetle species were identified. The dominant species were Scarodytes halensis and Laccobius minutus, representing the argillophilous component. Eurytopic, lake and riverine, and peatland species were also identified. Among the environmental factors determining the diversity of the water beetle fauna in particular types of habitats, the most significant role was played by the substratum and succession stage. 1 e-mail: [email protected] Copyright© by Institute of Oceanography, University of Gdańsk, Poland www.oandhs.org 32 J. Pakulnicka INTRODUCTION Anthropogenic water bodies, formed as a result of mineral extraction, are an important element of a hydrographical network. However, they have not aroused much interest among hydrobiologists. Polish literature on aquatic Coleoptera provides scant information on artificial reservoirs, although the ecology of water beetles is relatively well-known. Noteworthy works devoted to this subject include those by Łęgosz-Owsianna (1955), Tranda (1959), Biesiadka (1977), Mielewczyk (1997, 1997a) as well as by Kowalik and Buczyński (2003).
